apEX on tough period: For the first time in my career, I couldn’t focus on Counter-Strike
The Vitality leader opens up about his tough period with personal issues and his short break from CS.
The French top team, Vitality shocked the entire CS:GO world when they, in February this year, announced that their in-game leader Dan "apEX" Madesclaire would take a break from competitive Counter-Strike. The Frenchmen explained that the sudden decision was grounded on the fact that apEX had some personal problems, and not because of problems within the server.
